SVN commit 552644 by cgilles: digikam from trunk : new fast image preview mode embedded on main interface. - Separate Preview and Edit of picture. Preview is embedded into main interface, Edit is dedicaced to image editor. - digiKam album content area can be now toogled between the current image collection thumbs or the current preview of image selected in collection - To toogle between these views press F3. You can also press ESC to go out of preview mode. - You can change current image preview using wheel mouse or these keyboard shorcuts : page up, page down, home, end. - The preview image background use the current color of the selected digiKam theme. - Preview of RAW files are computed by dcraw using -e option. It's very fast. There is a screenshot at this url : http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/image_preview_on_main_interface.png TODO : - Extract JPEG, PNG, and TIFF preview from Exif Makernote using Exiv2. Need to adapt Exiv2 library for that. - Loading preview image outside the main interface thread using a new digiKam KIO-Slave. - Moving keyboard shortcuts of preview widget into main digiKam interface instance to share it with image properties sidebar tabs - Add RMB menu in this mode or just a link to Edit current image in editor. Need users feedback for that.

Version: 8 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I suggest that the default behaviour in digikam when clicking on a image should be to show it in an integrated viewer and not in showfoto. I think there are at least 2 reasons for that 1-- The most common action in digikam is to look at pictures not to edit them. so the workflow should be as simpe as possible. today it is 1- look for the picture using one of the side panels. 2- click on a picture 3- interact with the window manager to resize/move showfoto 4- click next or whatever I believe that having to deal with an external windows is not necessary 2--- view and edit are 2 different things and in digikam they are not enough differentiated (think of the view/edit button in the toolbar for example ) I suppose it is the reason for many of the complains I read on this mailing list (search for loseless or edit in the mailing list) . A possible implementation could be that when clicking on an image the iconview should be replaced by the image clicked with a simple toolbar containing essential loseless things : NEXT, PREV, ROTATE CLW (loseless of course), ROTATE CCLW, SLIDESHOW, BACK TO ICONVIEW; EDIT(=send to showfoto) The side panels should still be visible. just my 2 cents...
